History of the Civil aviation

Created following the withdrawal of Cameroon from the multinational company Air Afrique, Cameroon Airlines operated for more than 35 years.
From Cameroon's accession to independence in 1960 until 1971, there was no national air transport company. First operated by French airlines (Air France, UAT and UTA), the air traffic rights of Cameroon were taken over in 1961 by the multinational company Air Afrique when the Treaty establishing it was signed in Yaounde.

At the initiative of the colonial power, Cameroon long before its political independence experienced an excellent development of its airport infrastructure with the creation of multiple airfields, implantation of radio navigation aids and communications aids, the setting up of a public airline and private air transport companies.

Prompted by the concern of the international community to create an entity to oversee the safety and security in the country, Cameroonians experts charged the Cameroon Civil Aviation Authority (CCAA), with other sovereign functions. Notably the development of air transport, and maintenance of airport infrastructures.
